I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Three Essentials

From the Tarot of the Hidden Realm, the Three of Pentacles; from the Heart of Faerie Oracle, Joy of the Future:

The three grand essentials of happiness are: Something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for. ~Alexander Chalmers

This craftsman has honed his skills for many years; at this point his hands know the weight, shape and texture of everything he creates. Most folks, he would say, want to be instantly good at something without putting in the effort of practice and learning. But to be able to see one's own progress, even as one makes mistakes, can be a reward in itself. The Joy of the Future alludes to anticipation, the excitement of having something to look forward to. Sometimes our fantasy of how it will be doesn't match the actual event or result, but still, wasn't there some fun and pleasure in the waiting?
